    Why REIT ETFs Still Work as Real Estate Slumps

    The struggle of brick-and-mortar real estate has extended into investment portfolios. Elevated inflation and high interest rates have weighed on the real estate sector over the past few years. Real estate investment trusts or REIT ETFs have not been spared. Yet these exchange-traded funds are popular among income investors. They generate cash and can help diversify a portfolio. So, where do they fit in yours? And which REIT ETFs do Morningstar analysts consider top picks? Dan Sotiroff is the associate director of US Passive Strategies for Morningstar.

    How New Retirees Can Spend More Without Risking Their Savings

    If you’re newly retired or will join the ranks soon, it’s time to think about how you plan to spend your nest egg. Morningstar researchers are helping new retirees figure out where to begin. The recently published State of Retirement Income report concluded that the starting safe withdrawal rate for people beginning their retirement in 2026 is 3.9%. That number might appear low. However, the team has analyzed several strategies to lift it to almost 6%. Morningstar portfolio strategist Amy Arnott has investigated the data and joined the podcast to explain flexible withdrawal strategies. How Much Can You Spend in Retirement?

    Beyond AI: Are Quantum Stocks the Next Big Thing in Tech Investing?

    Quantum computing stocks have surged in popularity over the past year, capturing investors’ enthusiasm on the coattails of the artificial intelligence boom. These buzzy names took off last summer after a slew of announcements and research breakthroughs from the biggest players in the tech industry like Alphabet GOOGL/GOOG, Amazon AMZN and Microsoft MSFT. Quantum computing promises to be one of the most transformative technological developments of the next few decades, but Morningstar’s analysts caution that mainstream market adoption could be a long away. Dan Romanoff, a senior equity research analyst on the technology team at Morningstar, discusses new developments in the quantum computing landscape and the best way for investors to get exposure in their portfolios now.

    How to Generate Steady Income in 2026

    Higher interest rates have ushered in an era where income opportunities abound. That’s following years of parched cash flow streams and low rates, especially in fixed income. However, risks like stubborn inflation and elevated stock valuations exist. Morningstar researchers believe it’s important to identify income opportunities that could be resilient in today’s market. Dominic Pappalardo, chief multi-asset strategist for Morningstar Wealth, joined Investing Insights to discuss where to look. Editor's note: The host misspoke when referring to Morningstar Holland’s chief European market strategist. His name is Michael Field.

    The Market Is All in on the Magnificent Seven. Where Should Investors Look Next?

    Is your portfolio making a big bet on the Magnificent Seven? Mega-cap names like Nvidia, Alphabet, and Apple belong to the exclusive club that has largely driven US returns higher in recent years. Their success has led to market concentration. Portfolios tracking broad benchmarks have seen their diversification decrease and risk increase. How can you prepare your portfolio to absorb potential shocks? And where are the opportunities beyond the Mag Seven? Morningstar Holland’s Chief European Market Strategist Michael Field is one of the researchers who investigated this. Beyond the Magnificent Seven: Unlocking Value in a Concentrated Stock Market On this episode: 00:00:00 Welcome 00:01:49 The Magnificent Seven’s strong returns have benefited many investors. Why is their dominance a risk? 00:02:07 Your team highlighted a noteworthy stat in the report. The top 10 US stocks make up about 35% of the overall market. That’s almost double from a decade ago. What does that signal to you? 00:02:39 Can you explain what the hidden cost of market concentration is? 00:03:07 If the top stocks hold so much of the gains, where does that leave the rest of the market? 00:03:41 Let’s focus on key periods of market concentration. How does the current environment compare to the dot-com bubble? 00:04:11 And what about now versus the global financial crisis? 00:04:40 What if investors pulled back due to market concentration concerns in the last decade? Why would that have backfired? 00:05:51 How can investors manage the risk of market concentration in their portfolios? 00:05:50 Morningstar has identified investment opportunities for 2026. Why does the team favor US small caps over US large caps? 00:06:59 Another opportunity is the healthcare sector. What companies do Morningstar analysts think could fend off the competition for 10 years or more? 00:07:35 Morningstar encourages international diversification. Can you talk about the regions outside the US that look attractive for stock investors? 00:08:03 What’s the takeaway for diversifying beyond the Magnificent Seven in 2026?     Watch more from Morningstar: 9 Top ETFs for Income Investors That Stood Out in 2025 Where to Invest in 2026 After This Year’s Market Volatility Why Betting Against Nvidia in the AI Arms Race Could Be a Mistake   Follow Morningstar on social: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MorningstarInc/ X https://x.com/MorningstarInc Instagram https://www.instagram.com/morningstarinc/?hl=en LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/morningstar/posts/?feedView=all Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
